Lil Uzi Vert, an American rapper, has implanted a pink diamond worth $24 million into his forehead.
The 26-year-old, however, took his love for the good things of life to another level on January 30 when he announced that he had just finished paying Elliot Eliantte, his jewelry designer, to acquire the expensive diamond since he started doing the payment in 2017.
“I’ve been paying for a natural pink diamond from Elliot for years now,” he wrote.“This one Stone cost so much I’ve been paying for it since 2017.“That was the first time I saw a real natural pink diamond. Diamond suit. A lot of M’s in my face.”

“It’s actually in the middle,” Lil Uzi Vert shared on Instagram Stories.
“When the swelling goes down I’ll get a short bar so it won’t move. Y’all keep talking ‘bout it’s off ‘cause of the long bar in it so it can move, cause of the swelling.”
“Yes my Bugatti can’t even pay for it … all my cars together, plus home, this took so long now I can get this money,” he had replied a fan while explaining the worth of the diamond.
In series of posts on his social media pages on Wednesday, the ‘XO Tour Llif3’ crooner confirmed he had eventually implanted the diamond on his forehead.
The music star also shared other clips on his Instagram Stories, with one of them simply captioned “true” — a response to the curiosity over whether or not he had carried out the implant.
The development has since ignited a plethora of mixed reactions on social media, especially Twitter.
“I am fine with Lil Uzi Vert having a forehead diamond but the forehead diamond being off-centre is unforgivable,” a user wrote.
“Lil Uzi Vert really got a $24 million dollar diamond emplanted in his forehead… I have no words,” another user wrote.
